The Land Registration Rules 1999

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the rules)

These rules amend the Land Registration Rules 1925 so as to:

(a) make provision for new forms of transfer, assent and discharge of part, new forms of transfer and assent of a registered charge affecting part of the land in a registered title and new forms of transfer for a portfolio of titles;

(b) make provision for new forms of application to cancel notice of an unregistered lease or rentcharge, to register a caution against dealings with a registered title, to withdraw a caution and to place documents on deposit;

(c) make associated amendments to certain existing prescribed forms.

The rules also effect certain clarifications and minor improvements to the 1925 Rules.

The process of providing new forms is intended to be completed by further rules.
